Paper Wreath

I have seen these wreaths on lots of different blogs

 and decided to see if I can master one myself

 so I headed out to Joann Fabrics for a Styrofoam

 12" ring and glue sticks, then off to a thrift store 

for an old book.

I had some craft paint , brown and gray

first I rubbed the brown on the edge of the book pages

then topped it with the gray paint.

I then tore off the cover

 

and started tearing out the pages

then folding my pages 

 and gluing the first layer to the bottom of Styrofoam ring 

I than turned it over and worked my way up around the ring,

till it was all filled up.

I found this to be VERY inexpensive

but VERY time consuming.

I love the look as it goes well in our home.

I added a brown bow and hung it on my inside
door with a mirror.

What do you think, do you like or not?

Love and Blessings
